"Guaranteed--to rid any cellar of rats, roaches, or other undesirable creatures. In case of failure to do so as represented, your money cheerfully refunded and no questions asked . September 15th, 1906 A.D."
Addressed to: Miss Olive L. Carpenter, Box #99, Yantic, Connecticut.
Postmarked: Philadelphia, Pa., Sep. 16, 1906.
Judging by a Find A Grave search, the recipient of this real photo postcard was probably Olive L. Carpenter Bullard (1878 - 1917) ("wife of E. E. Bullard"), who is buried in the Yantic Cemetery, Norwich, Connecticut. If so, she would have been 28 years old when she received this postcard in 1906 and only 39 when she died in 1917. I wonder if it was her husband who sent her this card.

Church groups and other organizations used variations of this poem to invite members to "Birthday Party" gatherings that were both social get-togethers and fundraising events. See additional examples from 1896 and 1912 (below).
The Mite Society will give a Birthday Party, Thursday evening, Sept. 15th, 1910, in the Nantmeal M. E. Church, Rev. J. S Tomlinson, pastor.
This birthday party
Is given to you;
We hope you will come,
And propose if you do,
An agreeable time.
Some good things to eat
And besides many others
A musical treat.
As we could not secure
The number of candles
To let your light shine,
We send this fandangle;
Put safely within it
As many round pennies
As years you are old.
Your light will be bright.
If you send it or bring it.
While we will keep dark,
If you wish, what's within it.
The Mite Society
With greetings most hearty,
Feel sure you will come
To your own birthday party.
